Time really does fly when you’re having fun. We’ve barely got done ensuring that the awful teenage cast of Until Dawn endure the worst deaths imaginable, and already it’s time to start thinking about August 2017’s big PlayStation Plus update. We’re anticipating an announcement for the full lineup on 26th July ahead of a rollout on 1st August, so the speculation is on.

Sony’s service has undoubtedly been on a bit of a roll this year, so long may it continue. There has been a lot of adventure games lately, however, so we’re looking for something different. What about a casual racing game to pad the summer months? Trackmania Turbo would be a decent shout in our opinion. Maybe you fancy something else?

Share your suggestions for August 2017’s PlayStation Plus lineup in the comments section below. Do you want something brand new – titles due on 1st August include the anticipated Patapon Remastered, but it’s already up for pre-order and thus is unlikely to be given away – or would you prefer the platform holder dipped into its PS4 archives again? Let us know below.

I'd like Mass Effect Andromeda. I've played about 7 hours of the trial and while I found myself nowhere near as enthusiastic playing it as I was playing the other ME games, I thought it wasn't as bad as the Internet made out. The weapons, armours and powers all looked pretty good from an RPG perspective.

After getting Yomawari and HtoL#NiQ, I might have a reason to join the "It'll totally be in IGC now" paranoia club myself - my own luck is a troll, after all. XD Not that either game wouldn't make a solid addition to the lineup for other players.

Otherwise, the usual. Must I name specific titles so the comment sounds less boring? Then let it be BlazBlue Calamity Trigger - I've been holding out for more fighters and PSP offerings routinely now among others, and this one, the first game's portable port (screw the redundancy, the phrase is always music to my ears regardless), would also make for the perfect entry point with this series...

But again, knowing my luck, I wouldn't be surprised if it was given away for PS3 instead. :^P XD

My Hong Kong PS Plus account went live a few days ago (got it free for buying Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls on PS4 in the HK store - in English) so I'm looking forward to what I get from there. We got 6 PS4 games + 1 Ps3 game this month as they added Darksiders 2 as a bonus 2 days ago.

I don't even bother checking these days. I got bored of going through the ritual of adding them to my library, knowing full well that I'll never download nor ever play any of them.

Also, there''s around 18 days until I can download my pre-order of Sudden Strike 4. That should keep me occupied through August, as I pretend to be Eric von Manstein, on the Ostfront, defending western Europe from the bolshevik hordes, lol.

I love Trackmania, and I too was thinking an arcadey racer would be neat... but for Summer, I feel like Riptide GP Renegade or Aquamoto Utopia would make a for a good PS+ game now-ish.

Its hard to think of stuff that's old enough that it seems realistic Sony would cut a deal with the indie dev because sales probably plateau'd already, y'know? They always pull stuff out of who-knows-where. But both Renegade and Utopia are good enough, old enough, and indie enough to be on that radar, I feel. Trackmania would be a nice surprise too though.

@ApostateMage Mass Effect Andromeda isn't as bad as people make it out to be but I doubt it be a Playstation plus free game for a while. It's only a few months old and I think they usual go for games that'll make people want PS plus.
